What do you call the baby?

runrinserepeat · December 2013

The baby, this one, or #2. Sometime the newb. DD was Albie in utero (after Albus Dumbledore, the greatest wizard there ever was, obviously). We never call her that now.

Water gap for where baby was conceived. Or The Bambino.

Just baby

abunai523 · December 2013

Spoot... My husband came up with it and it stuck.

ec0983 · December 2013

skeeter. i don't know how it started, but i like it. my mom insists on calling it pooter and it drives me crazy.

walterjenne · December 2013

Unfortunately I referred to the baby as a parasite when I wasnt feeling very well. My DH immediately jump all over that. As a compromise we refer to it as Baby P so people dont think we are too crazy.

reg202 · December 2013

Mushroom. I don't know why but we both love it.

mcvgal · December 2013

Just baby for now. DS was chicharito (spanish for pea) seince we found out about him when he was a pea. But this one baby has just stuck

MalLanning · December 2013

We call ours Baby Lanning. I get snappy when someone refers to the baby as an 'it'. Baby Lanning isn't an 'it', baby has a heartbeat!

emineminem · December 2013

We call it little shrimp, based on the u/s similarity

rachoochoo2 · December 2013

Right now we refer to baby as the blob since that is what he/she looked like on our u/s yesterday.

alyssa719 · December 2013

We call ours Version Two (V2), or parasite (because, technically it is one).

nicole336 · December 2013

Peanut

allardr · December 2013

We call it "baby Miranda Xander" which are the first names we've picked for each sex so we just smash them together for now until we find out the sex.

HJakes78 · December 2013

Sticky baby

rach1285 · December 2013

"Mini" for now, may change
later when we learn the sex

lauralynn710 · December 2013

I have been saying peanut, but DH is just mostly saying "the baby"

gretchen07 · December 2013

We call ours "Boo". It was conceived in October and we found out a couple of days before Halloween. Lol!!!

We legit conceived during Game 6 of the World Series... So has been nicknamed "Papi" thus far GO SOX!!!

Amazing!!!

We call ours "tiny human". Pretty sure I stole it from an old episode of Greys out if a conversation between Merideth and Christina.

hupp0013 · December 2013

We call it baby.

JMCB09 · December 2013

"This one"

paxilchyk · December 2013

We refer to it as the fruit slice or number 3. Fruit slice is because we already refer to SIL's baby as the gummy bear and I've been eating a lot of gummy fruit slices. We purposely don't refer to it as a baby because we don't want our three year old to figure it out yet.

LuluPMW · December 2013

Baby, bean, nugglett.

lindslalala · December 2013

I call it "Norah or Henry". DH isn't 100% on either name, but those are my top choices so it's what I'm going with for now. Every night I say "goodnight Norah or Henry", I did the same with DS and now it's sort of a superstition of mine to say goodnight to the baby by name every night.

SherylA80 · December 2013

"Little-one" until we find out the sex of our baby than we will call Little-one whatever name goes with the sex.

Elijah or Alexandria

acciovino · December 2013

DD and DH call it baby and I call it gummy bear

jessie55 · December 2013

Cletus the fetus! Dh has a weird sense of humor. He called dd Felix the cat when I was pregnant with her- and she is obsessed with cats

MrsKubley · December 2013

Cheese until I feel him/her move then probably Squirrel

Jelly26 · December 2013

My 5 year old niece named the baby for us. The baby is called "Bunny".

snysilver · December 2013

We call ours "Cheese". It's a nod to the movie Old School, the nickname Luke Wilson & Vince Vaughn had for Jeremy Piven's character. We won't reveal the baby's name until he/she is born, so we go with Cheese until then.
On a side note, DS was called Joban, a name we got from Paul Rudd in I Love You Man. People hate our baby nicknames (my mother especially), but we think it's fun.

mamakiss · December 2013

Everything. Haha. We've called it the weekly fruit, baby Kiss (SO's LN), girl names, boy names, it, the baby, the bean, my little blobby alien, it's not hard to know what we're talking about in context haha. Part of me always wants to call it Pumpkin since my dad calls me that but... Well, my dad still calls me that. So it might be confusing haha.

kwh33ls · December 2013

We call ours cocklebur...we had a miscarriage the first time around, so we hoped it would be stickier, and it's caused no small amount of pain--I was really crampy for the first 6 weeks or so.

MusicalCherries · December 2013

Due to my constant cravings for all things potatoes (fries, chips, baked), DH and I call it "spud."

beccaxrad · December 2013

DH calls it bean or peanut, but I call it demon blob because it is plotting to starve me. Once I can eat I will be on board with the sweet nicknames, but at the moment I'm sick of the hangover feeling!

Kristen0705 · December 2013

We call it Baby (whatever size food it is), but we don't like Baby Prune this week, so we are calling it Baby Awesome-o this week.

futureAG · December 2013

We have started calling it "little Ruby" partly because that will the baby's birth stone and because if it's a girl I'm kinda leaning towards that name. It was my great grandmothers name and my dad wanted to name me that but didn't. Sometimes I'll say "Ruby Gem" or "little Gem" don't want the baby to feel left out if it's a boy so it works both ways!!

slensic · December 2013

Nothing yet, between worrying that it won't stick and not ready to tell our toddler about it. I talk about being pregnant or "this one" at the moment. I think once we have the NT scan and are out of first tri and DD knows about the baby, I might get more attached and have a nickname. DD was the bean so I am not sure what this one will be.

Meggiemegs27 · December 2013

We refer to the baby as 'hoppy' because the bean was conceived at Great American Beer Fest. It was our first getaway by ourselves (my mom kept our 1 year old son) and we were excited to 'pull the goalie' while we were there. We told all of our friends we were officially starting to try and we needed beer names for the baby. Hops are a key ingredient in beer so hoppy has kinda stuck

Btw that won't be the babies real name lol

TwizzyG · December 2013

I've been calling it "Bug". Which I thought was cute, but now realize that might be misconstrued as "parasite". Lol. But I like it so I'm sticking with it.

Hollyhelton · December 2013

Gummy bear. Because it looked just like a little gummy bear on the first u/s at 7 & 1/2 weeks

I have another u/s this wens day at almost 12 weeks but I'm pretty sure the nickname will stay the same lol
